Name From Comments
5,363. Mary Albanese Santa Rosa, CA Early Intervention and apporpriate services do make a
difference for children in the areas of school readiness, self
esteem, and the basic right to live with dignity
5,364. Nubia Padilla Santa Rosa, CA
5,365. Lisa Sereni Santa Rosa, CA I have been a nurse for the CCS program for over 15 years
and have seen the wonderful work the therapists at the
MTP are able to provide to these children. There are very
few pediatric PT's and OT's in the community that have the
experience and expertise to work with this population and
we need to be able to provide these children the care they
need.
5,366. DANIEL ARTHER Palmdale, CA
5,367. Jessica Berman Santa Rosa, CA I work with babies and toddlers who are deaf or hard of
hearing.. Many receive critical services through CCS that
have helped them to be able to be successful in regular
school programs with less support as older children. Many
of these families have no other insurance or way to get the
help that is cost-effective for California's public schools.
Early Intervention works. And for older children, I believe it
is still our duty to help children with disabilities to fulfill their
full potential by providing support to those in need.
5,368. nicole davis San Pedro, CA
5,369. Morgan Wise Berkeley, CA Budget cuts to state medical services for children with
special needs represents a profound ignorance and a
frightening lapse of morals on the part of California
legislators. If our state is expected to continue to be a
beacon of sound public policy, budget cuts for The Medical
Therapy Program must be removed from all current and
future economic proposals.
5,370. IRENE DOYLE CONCORD, CA
5,371. Katrina Moss Rohnert Park, CA My nephew received services through the CCS-MTU when
he was younger. He has Muscular Dystrophy and the
therapy he received helped not only him but his parents to
learn what they could do to help prevent further
complications. At that time they would have been over the
cut-off for financial eligility, but they would have had to
choose between health insurance for the family or services
just for him. This is a terible place to put middle income
families who are struggling finances. Families are currently
being forced to decide between childcare, so they can both
work, or health insurance. Don't add one more layer to
these families.
5,372. Elsa Knapp Scott Fresno, CA I am a pediatric Occupational Therapist and believe that
children in need should have as much thereapy and
equipment that is necessary for them to live and function
as best that they can.
